Carty on WTKA: Getting defensive about Shafer

The University of Michigan's season-long defensive collapse was the primary topic of conversation during Monday's regular visit with Sam Webb and Andy Evans on WTKA, including - of course - the mounting pressure on defensive coordinator Scott Shafer. We also talked, however, about some very interesting similarities between what's happening at Michigan and Rodriguez' first season at West Virginia, and then I got in trouble for injecting politics into the conversation (sort of).

Former Ann Arbor News sports columnist and current full-time law student Jim Carty blogs about Michigan football and more in his personal blog. His weekly radio commentaries will continue to run Monday's on MLive.com.
